Temperate Forest
Main characteristicsin a temperate forest include wide leaves, scrubs and bushes, large and tall trees, and non-seasonal vegetation. Winters are mild and rainfall is moderate in the temperate region. The trees in the Temperate Forest biome include Deciduous, Coniferous, Evergreens, and Broad-leaved Evergreens.
What do I wear?
If you would like to visit this biome you will need to pack layers. Temperatures seem to vary throughout the day. Make sure you bring a rain jacket and a pair of boots just in caseof rain and mud.
What Else Should I Know?
In the spring and summer, the food is plentiful. This is the time that most animals decide to have babies. One of the most important parts of the Temperate Forests is the leaf litter. This is when most of the nutrients are recycled in the forest. Underneath all the leaf litter are tiny invertebrates like beetles, ants, centipedes, and millipedes.
Destruction…
In the last 30 years, scientists have discovered that air pollution caused by factories and other sources mixes with rain and causes acid rain. Over time this acid rain kills the trees and other types of plants. Conservation is very important in the Temperate Forest but it is hard to carry out. People often demand that our needs come before the needs of wildlife. This could mean that in the future, the only Temperate Forests will be the ones that are protected in the national parks and sanctuaries.
Another type of destruction is logging. Trees are cut down in the Temperate Forests along with other forests to make lumber for houses and such; also for paper.
Mining is also a reason of destruction in forests. It calls for all the trees to be disposed of in order to dig into the ground to search for gold and other types of minerals.
